Reviews
Gauguin reminds the reader throughout his journal, " I am not a writer". He writes in a stream of consciousness manner-witty, bold, and just plain funny , as he goes on about his disgust with authority, the church, pompous people, the art scene in France. Gauguin's free spirit still refreshes, especially in today's world of political correctness and conformity.. He possessed a keen intelligence and capacity for stirring insights- about art and his fellow artists, bourgeois French life, the ruination of Tahiti by French influence, His descriptions of Van Gogh and other later- to- be -known artists are fascinating, as well as his discussions on his life in Tahiti. Gauguin gave his life to his art, at the cost of financial stability and his family. He suffered greatly a result. In the meantime, he produced monumental work that have only grown in stature thru time. Gauguin has also emerged as a truly great and iconic artist of his time. This is the original version, banned as obscene soon after publication. Do not waste your time with the sanitized, later version, "Nora Nora", Reading a biography first better puts into context many of Gauguin's often biting and hilarious observations. But remember, Gauguin is not a writer.
